I have an "OP Shop" story for you : My mother volunteers at the Op Shop run by her church one day a week. They get a lot of stuff from older, often Widowed contributors, ..... you know, ... "lets clean out Dads old back shed" kind of stuff. I went in to pick up Mum after she finished the other day and was a bit early, .... so i thought I'd have a bit of a look around ......... ....... amongst the ratty old tools were 3 flat box/cases and inside these were 3 Mitutoyo micrometers, .... a smallish/standard unit, and two 6" units complete with all the "anvils" (one almost brand new) ....... Prices as marked .... $3, $10 & $20 ..... The 6" that was $10 was older and it's case was made of plywood that was splintering a little, the other 2 were more modern plastic moulded cases .... and the $20 unit still had some components wrapped in original packaging and un-opened. I almost set my back pocket on fire getting my wallet out to pay for them .......

..... and I still can't believe it ..........

........ Good Heavens ...... was it that long ago ? .... ........ Good Heavens ...... was it really that long ago ? .... ........ Good Heavens ...... was it really that long ago ? ....

I believe that Chuck is enough of a man that he would NOT tell a joke about Will Smiths' wife, even if he had her permission to do so .........

........ I believe that I could live quite happily without ever seeing this again ........

.... well, Buckshot did say it was his dog .........

Thanks, but the American president is not my King, nor did I have an opportunity, nor the right, to vote for him. .... ....... then again, I didn't get to vote for King Charlie 3 neither ......... ..... but I ain't complaining ................ yet

this man is my King ...... please remember that

...... a lot more common than you might think .......

..... yes

.... yep

We had a Holden same model as that taxi, ....... all white with a dark-ish gold roof ..... ........... you're right about should never have got rid of them

......... and these, too, are my exact sentiments, but more exactly

...... my sentiments exactly .......

........ that's how part of my family got here .....

....... ouch ! ....... ouch !

....... ouch !

OMG!!! ............. you actually did it!

Thar\ts' a Magpie and they too are territorial around nesting season. Many have been attacked by these birds. ...... but they won't attack you if you are looking at them, or even if they can see your eyes ...... ...... so, by drawing some sort of eyes on the upper back of your hat you are less likely to get swooped onto. This, of course, doesn't always work ....

...... a Choc Block and a Sunnyboy please

....... I dunno, ..... looks more cardashian-Q-chicken to me .....

........ OUCH!!!!! ... .... don't worry, ... it'll buff out .....

........ yeah, that's it ....... his father-in-laws' brand new Mercedes .......

...... ya'know, .... 2022 ain't over yet .....
